A piece of flat Flanders land

Description

The route starts in Nieuwpoort Stad, a small town with very beautiful houses, located on the Yser. The first part of the route takes us along the old railway embankment, the Frontzate, up to Stuivekenskerke.

A bit further, we drive along the Yser to then turn towards Mannekensvere, a place where tolls were demanded in the Middle Ages. A bit further, we have to deviate from our route due to roadworks, but thanks to the junctions, we get back on track.

We then drive through the dunes past the bunkers of Raversijde, the bird rescue center, until Mariakerke. From Mariakerke, we drive for a long stretch along the coast up to Westende. We then go a bit inland, past the campsites until the ferry in Nieuwpoort. The seaside resort of Nieuwpoort is also known for its beautiful shops.

Along the Nieuwpoort harbor, we drive back to the town of Nieuwpoort. Also nice: the many informational boards along the route and not too many long straight roads, which you often find in the polders.
